SA power price hike bid goes to fed court

South Australia's electricity provider is continuing its fight in the Federal Court to charge people more for electricity distribution, SA Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis says.

Mr Koutsantonis says he is seeking legal advice after learning SA Power Networks has requested the Federal Court to review a determination from the Australian Energy Regulator, later upheld by the Australian Competition Tribunal, to block a revenue increase.

SAPN had asked to raise $4.53 billion in revenue over the 2015-2020 period but the regulator said $3.84 billion would be sufficient to run an efficient network and provide a safe and reliable service, a determination upheld by the tribunal.
